How much is an at-home dad worth?

If at-home dads were paid, they'd make about $10,000 a year less than what at-home moms would make, according to Salary.com.

For Father's Day, Salary.com figured that an at-home dad's annual salary would be $128,755 if he got paid for all he does with his children and to take care of the home, according to a survey of more than 6,500 fathers. That's up 2.7 percent compared with last year.

If at-home moms were paid, they'd make $138,095 a year, according to the survey.

"We calculated the multiple jobs that make up the role of dad to highlight their contribution in the home and to compare the amount and value of their work to mom," Meredith Hanrahan, chief marketing officer at Salary.com says in a news release. "The findings do indicate that while dad's worth is substantial, he is still playing catch-up to mom."

Moms end up doing a disproportionate share of the workload at home, even if they're working outside the home, the survey found. The average at-home dad reported working 80.2 hours per week in his role while at-home moms reported an average of 91.8 hours per week.
